My dear Donna and family. When I think of Gerri I remember dancing and singing in Donna's kitchen. Drinking champagne and enjoying one song after another. My heart hurts for my Donna, I know how deep your relationship was. Gerri went to heaven with a smile , and thinking, Donna was right. God bless you all.

Dear Donna and family; I am so saddened by Gerri's passing. She was a special lady. I have many fun memories of good times shared, dancing and/or singing karaoke. She was a force of nature, super smart, hard working and determined. Yet she also had a softer side and I remember many times where she was the first to fill a room with laughter; and she made you want to laugh right along with her. I take comfort in knowing she is no longer suffering. And I am keeping your family in my prayers. Sending much love.

To The Corrado Family: So sorry for your loss. I was a former neighbor many years ago of the Corrado-Smith family in Melrose. Never realized how strong this family was at the time
